## Description

Got a book you&#39;ve finished? Someone nearby probably wants it — and they&#39;ve got one you&#39;d love.<br><br>BookBarter connects readers in your area for simple, face-to-face book swaps. Post a book, browse what&#39;s available nearby, and arrange a swap. No money changes hands. No shipping. Just two readers meeting up to trade books.<br><br>HOW IT WORKS<br><br>Post a book — Snap a photo, add the title, author, condition, and category. Takes 30 seconds.<br>Browse nearby — Search books within 10 to 200 km. Filter by genre, condition, or distance.<br>Request a swap — Found something you want? Send a swap request. If accepted, chat to arrange a meetup.<br>Meet up and trade — Pick a public spot, swap books, done.<br>FEATURES<br><br>Distance filter — See exactly how far each book is, from 10 to 200 km<br>Real-time chat — Message your swap partner and share meeting locations<br>12 genres — Fiction, Sci-Fi, Romance, Biography, History, Self-Help, and more<br>Ratings and reviews — Rate each swap to build trust in the community<br>Environmental impact — Track the CO2 and water you save with every swap<br>Book conditions — List books as Like New, Good, Fair, Acceptable, Poor, or Well-Loved<br>Dark mode — Easy on the eyes for late-night browsing<br>WHY SWAP?<br>The average book is read just 1.5 times. Every book swap saves about 7.5 kg of CO2 and 7 liters of water that would go into printing a new one. Swapping gives books a second life and keeps them out of landfills.<br><br>BookBarter is currently free to use — no fees to swap books. As the app grows, we may introduce optional ways to support the project, but swapping books will always remain accessible.<br><br>Questions?
